The race for the second Dodge Journey began at 10 a.m.! While I thought the Journey would be in the Yukon/Oklahoma City area, it turns out that is the STARTING point. This morning’s first video clue runs from Oklahoma City west to Clinton, Okla. — all on Route 66. It has been announced that there is a 200 mile distance between the start and end point, which is a field with only a hot air balloon as a clue.

IF the race continues on Route 66, this would mean the Journey is somewhere between McClean and Groom, Texas; however, I doubt the search will be that easy. So I’m throwing out this possibility — a scene in the original commercial was an intersection of two dirt roads that looked similar to the location in the final shot of the movie “Castaway.” That location is south of Canadian, Texas, which is just a little over 200 miles from Oklahoma City. We’ll see what the next video tells us at 1 p.m. And, if you don’t know what I’m talking about at all, visit my Sept. 14 post for more information on the contest and stay tuned for updates today!
